HERBERT C. TAYLOR, OF GREENSBURG, INDIANA.

OVEN.

Application led January 30, 1914.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, 'HERBERT C. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Greensburg, county` of Decatur, and State of Indiana., have invented a certain new and uset'ul Oven; and I do hereby declare that the `'following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had, to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters refer to like parts.

he object of this invention is to improve the construction of portable ovens 0n gas ranges and the like which are provided with a slidable partition or wall for limiting the oven chamber and for other purposes.

This application is for an improvement over what is shown in my Jformer application, Serial No. 672,615, filed January 22, 1912, Ylfor adjustable oven.

The chief feature of the improvement is is the manner of mounting a partition so that it will be slidable and yet entirely separate the chambers on each side so that there will be no loss of heat from one chamber to the other.

Another feature of the invention consists in providing a flame deilector at the bottom of the oven, which longitudinally telescopes to suit the adjusted positions ot' the partition, lt does not extend through the partition, but a part is secured to the partition and, therefore, no opening is provided for it in the partition.

Another 'feature of the invention consists in ledges 'formed in the walls ot the oven by crimping the inner lining thereof.

The itull nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.

ln the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view oi." one end oil' a gas range with said oven located thereon. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 ot Fig. 1 of the oven with the partition shown by full lines at one end and by dotted lines near the middle of the structure. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4l is a central vertical section through a modified form of the spreader. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. Il. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section through another modified form of the spreader. Fig. 7 is a section on the line 7--7 of Fig. 2.

There is shown a gas range or stove 10, a gas supply pipe y11 having valves 12 for Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 815,443.

controlling the passage of gas to two burners. Over the portion ot the stove provided with said two burners there is placed an oven 15 with an open bottom with inturned flanges 16. rThe walls of the oven are double, having an inner lining wall 17 which 1s crlmped to form horizontal ledges 18 for supporting or the like. The rear wall is crimped to form a vertical stop ledge 19, as shown in Fig. 7. It is tor the purpose of llmiting the adjusting movement in one direction ott' a movable partition 20. This partition has slides on the flanges 16 and an inner and outer wall, the inner wall being formed like the inner wall 17. The end wall of the oven against which the partition 20 lies when the partition is in its outer position, has no inner wall 17.

A series oi longitudinal rods 21 to 'form a shelf are located in the lower part ot' the oven and are secured in place and extend through holes in the movable partition 20 so that said partition is slidable without dificulty.

A V-shapcd flame detlector is provided in the lower part of the oven consisting ot a rigid end portion 22 which is secured to the end wall 17 and having lateral guides 24 and another telescoping portion 23 which is secured to the movable partition 20 and telescopes on the end oi the first mentioned portion 22 as the partition is moved, with the edges thereof operating in said guides 2li. Thus when the partition is in `its outer position, as shown in Fig. 2, tlife deflector extends tor the 'full length oit the oven. It, however, the partition is moved to the dotted line position ol Fig. 2 or as shown in Fig. 1, the part 23 of the deflector telescopes into the part 22 and correspondingly shortens the deflector. When the partition is adjusted to its middle position against the stop 19, it confines the oven chamber to one burner and it is moved to such position when a person desires to use only one burner and thus eeonomize fuel. When the partition is in its middle position, two chambers are Jformed, one over each burner and if de sired, one chamber can be used as an oven chamber, that in which the delector is located, and the other chamber will have a free bottom for other uses than as an oven chamber. Hence, the oven as a whole is enabled when thus adjusted to perform two functions at the same time.

The modified form of defiector shown in Fig. 4 is in cross section, as shown in Fig. 5, by both sections being tubular with .the outer ends closed. Fig. 6 is the saine with the outer ends open.

The lower end of the partition 20 is 4ont away between the flanges 16, as shown in Fig. 8, in order to cause it to fully clear the grate bers and burners of the stove.

The invention claimed is: n

l. An oven with an open bottom, and inturned flanges, a movable partition in said oven supported on Vsaid flanges, and shelf rods extending through said partition. 2. An oven with an open bottom and inturned flanges, a movable partition in said oven supported on said iianges, and shelf rods extending through said partition, the wall of saidbven being crimped toY lforni ledges for Stopping the moi/ement of said partition. A

3. An oven open at the bottoni, a Vertical partition movable longitudinally in said oven, and a deflector in the lower part of the oven .consisting .of .two portions, one portion thereof being secured to the end wall of the oven and the other portion thereof being seoured to the partition.

51:. An :oven open at the bottom, a vertical partition movable longitudinally in said oven, and a deiieotor in the lower part of the oven consisting of two portions, one portion thereof being secured to the end wall of the ,oven and the other portion thereof being seoured 4to the partition, and one of vsaid deiector portions having guides throughv Copies of this patent may 'be obtained for ye eents each. by adressing the Commissioner of latents, Washington, fi).
